A Stitch in Time

After spending the last couple of weeks making a bracelet, my next project will tackle my desire to learn how to sew a bit more this year. Starting with a fairly simple, yet practical, yoga mat bag. I don’t see the point in making things that will just lie around gathering dust, so decided to make something I’ll use regularly.

I’m using this free Amy Butler pattern for the bag. I went into town yesterday to pick some fabric. Unfortunately, Falkirk isn’t renowned for its fabric shops (or should that be one fabric shop!) and there wasn’t a huge selection, so opted for this Clarke & Clarke one called Retro Floral:

Ideally I’d like to have the bag finished for my Wednesday night yoga class, but I’m not sure how long it will take, so I may have to wait until next week’s class to show it off!
